Thanks for arguing for my point: Communism was a beautiful theoretical
idea which was implemented by humans and therefore was a miserable
fuckup in the end.

I still think the concept is really interesting, but I can't see a
working implementation as soon as there are humans who would want to be
leaders in such regimes.

I don't see a connection with free speech here, anyway.

With best regards,
